Abstract

Oraon tea leaf pluckers were examined in terms of their cardiorespiratory functions which include blood pressure measurements and a number of lung function tests. Anthropometric measurements and information on smoking history were obtained. It is known from earlier studies that the individuals studied belong to more or less similar economic and nutritional background. The results suggest that smoking has an effect on cardiorespiratory functions, and may have an indirect effect an anthropometric traits, but no effect of smoking on work performance could be established from the present study.
